gram light size / offset help on my s14

[cyrus240sx]

i am in the proicess of buying new rims for my car.... i was wondering what offset should i use on the gram light 57s 17x9.5 wheels on the rear of my car....+12, +22, or +38 ?

I'm thinking +22.

You might want to use the wheel offset calculator and go compare the new distances between the strut and fender. The calculator is in the wheel faq.

well with a the offset at +22 the calulator comes out with

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 9mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 55mm

I have 17x9.5 +38 gram lights 57C that were on the rear of my S14. With a 265 wide tire there was maybe half a cm of clearance between the tire and the fender(not rolled) with some negative camber. With more neutral camber it would rub the fender I think, but not positive.

I am not sure about clearance on the inside though. It wasnt hitting anything but I don't know how close it was.

The front have 17X8.5 +40 with what I think is a 5mm spacer and there is no clearance problems.

Those are some pics of my car with the Gram lights if that helps.

I am actually trying to sell these to pay for SPL coilovers since my GAB's seals are exploded.

I am about to get 17x8.5 gram light 57s ..

Will +22 fit on my s14 ?I suck with wheels

[chmercer]

in the rear, DEFFINITLEY +12. unless you wanna run 0 camber and not roll your fenders. which sucks.

why would you run more negative offset than is needed to fit the rim width? all its going to do is hurt your wheel rate, hub bearings and cause massive track-width differential issues (differenc ebetween f/r track) with the car....
